Stay Notified, Silently

Screen alerts offer a subtle, visual way to keep track of your time without intrusive alarms or sudden sounds. As your timer approaches zero, the screen gradually lightens, giving you a smooth, gentle heads-up

How to Configure

Screen alerts are highly customizable. You can toggle them in the FlipCloc settings and adjust how they behave:

  • Toggle On/Off: Head to the Pomodoro/Timer settings and flip the switch for Screen Alerts
  • Ambient Awareness: Because the change is gradual, it's perfect for when you're deeply focused and listening to your own music
  • Combine with Sounds: Use screen alerts by themselves for a completely silent experience, or pair them with gentle chimes for an auditory queue

Use Cases

  • Libraries & Offices: Stay on top of your work schedule in public or shared spaces where alarms would be disruptive
  • Deep Work: Avoid sudden, jarring sounds that can snap you out of your flow state
  • Music Listeners: Get notified visually without interrupting your favorite focus playlist
